Ito Seiyu (伊藤晴雨), 7/10

Even Kashima’s kaname-ishi* stone loses its effect over time. We can study the cause of an earthquake and announce its epicenter after it happened. Yet, this doesn’t stop an earthquake. A loyal warrior, Fujita Toko** was crushed to death under falling beams, while trying to save his mother. It is the most regrettable event in a thousand years. When can we ever escape from this living hell?

*The keystone of Kashima Jingu shrine, which is believed to have the power of preventing earthquakes.

**A renowned scholar from the Mito domain, who died during the Ansei Edo Earthquake in 1855.
